Final Version of Fedora

I think I'm satisfied with this version of my Fedora. Next comes documenting the pattern. The hat band will be different (this version was done hastily so I could wear the hat to my grandson's soccer game - team colors are Maroon and White).

Ha Ha Ha! You caught me. Too bad you can't edit those things. I had just looked at something right before posting about a "Ken" and that name was in my head. And just got off the phone with my brother with the same name too. I do apologize. That's what I get for multitasking. Glad you have a sense of humor!

Hi, Gene! Just dropped in this morning to say hi. Another nice lady (in your long list of followers) sent me to your blog, and I couldn't wait to check it out. Her name is Molly (http://crochetingmyworsted.blogspot.com/), and she had some very nice things to say about you. You are very talented, and I can't wait to dig further into your blog for more pictures, ideas, and patterns. Keri

Keri - thanks for the nice comments. I'd rather crochet than type on the computer, so my blogging isn't done as often as it should be. I'm just finishing up the pattern for this hat, which I think will become my signature hat, at least until I come up with something better...

About Me

The repetitive actions needed for knitting and crochet can bring the mind and body to a state called a "relaxation response" that is quite similar to what people experience with techniques such as repetitive prayer, yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, and other relaxation disciplines. Research at the Harvard Medical School Mind/Body Institute has found that when an individual is crocheting (or knitting) his/her heart rate can drop 11 beats a minute and his/her blood pressure drops as well. These results can have significant health benefits for people who knit and crochet. Therefore, I am a man who crochets. I design my own crochet and sell patterns and finished projects.
